I don't know what it is but, why did Argentina allow almost every living nazi war criminal to live freely in their country after WWII?

After WWII, a lot of fascists were more comfortable in a country that tolerated (and for a while even practiced) fascism because they were so unwelcome (to put it mildly)
in their country of origin. In Italy, for example, the communists were the bulk of the anti-German guerrilla forces and they were not very happy with countrymen who had supported Mussolini or the Germans. In France, the same thing occurred with the maquis (the french guerrilla forces during the war). Reprisals by the victors was pretty sure to be kinda deadly for the fascisti or collaborators.

And, in those two countries (Italy and France), the fascisti had money to buy their way into Argentina. Germans did too, although most of them died before they got a chance to get over there.

Prior to the war, Argentina was a place that Italian immigrants went to flee persecution. So not all of the Italian or German names from Argentina are descendants of the
losers of WWII. It was just a place that immigrants in if they had money.

1. Cory Joseph should be back up PG the rest of the season(after 1 good game)
2. Why isn't Mills the 2nd string PG(after his first game back)
3. Splitter and Ayres for Greg Monroe at trade deadline
4. Jeff Ayres trade for Andray Blatche
5. Why is Ayres still on the team? The FO are idiots
6. Manu should've retired in the offseason

I have a feeling Parker is going to try to come back and show that last year wasn't a decline, it was just an injury-riddled season.

That certainly could mean we see more MVParker.

MVParker could score and create at a high level averaging at least 18 ppg and 7.5 assists in the '11-'12 and '12-'13 seasons.

He should be back at those numbers, which should only help the Spurs. A big reason why our starting lineup struggled was because Parker wasn't playing at as high of a level (along with Green not getting open looks, Leonard shooting poorly from 3 to start the season and Duncan's jumper not falling)
